Susceptibility Artefact

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is commonly used to follow up patients after endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms. Magnetic resonance artefacts from coil constructs may impair image quality and jeopardise the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment and review of adjacent vasculature. We present here a technical note on the usage of Barricade coils recently introduced at our institution. The MRA artefacts associated with these coils may make it impossible to ascertain aneurysm closure and anatomy. Hence these patients would need to be recalled for digital subtraction angiograms for a complete neuroradiological follow-up.

Multidetector Ct Angiography

Minimally invasive interventional radiographic procedures rely on many of the same imaging techniques as are used in diagnostic studies. This chapter describes the imaging modalities most commonly utilized by the interventional radiologist intraprocedurally. These include fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), sonographic techniques for percutaneous interventions and intravascular ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT) and cone beam CT (CBCT). Imaging techniques used adjunctively in the procedure planning and follow-up phases are also briefly reviewed, including multidetector CT angiography, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and sonographic vascular evaluation. Specific interventions are mentioned throughout as a means of illustrating the clinical utilities of these imaging techniques, although specific procedural considerations are discussed more thoroughly elsewhere.
